Notes

2006-11-25 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is suspended from the ceiling and "floats" above the choir. Only the trackers from the console 'connect' the organ to the ground in any way. -Database Manager

2008-06-23 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Reportedly cost $12,000.00. This is one of two "suspended" organs in the Pacific Northwest (the other being the 1963 Spath at St. Paul's Epis. in Seattle). A 25-note set of Mayland chimes (tenor G - g44) is playable from Manual II, and controlled by the chimes volume switch. A Zimbelstern is present and controlled by a toggle switch placed to the right of the stop rocker tablets. Documented: June 19, 2008. -Database Manager

NOTES
This organ was installed by Olympic Organ Builders.  It is one of two
very unique imported trackers in the Pacific Northwest in that it is
suspended from the ceiling of the church, and it’s only connection to
the rear gallery is the steel cables which connect the roller boards
to the console.

The Manual II chimes are by Mayland, and have no stop action as such.
They are turned on by their volume selector switch.  Their compass is
tenor G to g 44, and they are mounted to the rear wall of the church
behind the organ.

The organ also has a Zimbelstern that is controlled by a toggle switch
similar to those that set the Freie Kombination.
